Q: Where can I find past model portfolio updates? I am a new member and would like to review the historical trades in the portfolios along with a brief description but I can't find anywhere that has past trades unless I open up every monthly report.

Q: Hi, with the rise in interest rates, I was expecting to see a bit more of a bounce in SLF and MFC. Currently, I have a 1% position at a much lower entry price on SLF, and about a 4.5% position in MFC. Would adding more SLF here for a longer term hold now that rates have moved up here make sense? The entire portfolio is pretty well diversified and I have time on my side.

Q: I am retired and able to live comfortably on
my Federal government superannuation, OAS and CPP.
Can you recommend a single stock for a TFSA, in which I currently hold a full position in ENF and a double position in AYA purchased when originally recommended by 5i?

Thank you for considering my question.

Q: Hello team,

Please advise what is in vogue regarding dividends accumulated in both registered and non registered accounts. I am able to reinvest these as it is not an issue in the non registered account, which has the bulk of the dividends. Would you recommend reinvesting in growth stocks,IE growth portfolio, or to plow back into the Beport stocks?

the dividends amount to roughly a 1/2 position in my current holdings.

Thanks

KC

Q: I'm helping my 65-year-old mother reallocate some funds (mostly diversifying and ditching debilitated oil stocks and mutual funds). Using about 3% of her funds, she would like to make a tech purchase (her first) for a long-term investment (5+ years) aiming at growth for this particular position. Following your recommendations, we are considering (a) Constellation (CSU), (b) Kinaxis (KXS) or (c) a mix of both. These are two great stocks and this is a nice moment to buy tech in general, but which of these three scenarios would be best right now?

Q: Hi 5i team,
Is the director of PTE named David Dueck the same person formerly involved with PHO? If yes, could you explain his presumed role in PHO management problem (irregular transfer of money). If yes, what is your level of confidence in his involvement in the management of PTE. I usually require management of small cap to be above all suspicion in order to invest in them. Thank you, Eric

Q: The company's shares have been weak for some time and took a big hit in the past couple of days. Is this due to Volvo's announcement about phasing out of fossil fueled cars? If so and if other manufactures are expected to move more quickly in a similar direction what does this do to a company like ATD.b that is heavily tied to cars running on fossil fuels, and stopping at their sites to buy gas and other products? Is this the beginning of a downward slide in the company's business? If so why continue to hold the shares longer term?

Q: The 5iR income portfolio has a 9.47% cash position. And in my income portfolio, cash is about 4.5% and my portfolio has 21 positions. Now I am wondering how I go about investing the available cash. This cash is the accumulation of income which is not need in the foreseeable future as the income portfolio is segment to the balanced portfolio. My intent is to reinvest this income back into the income portfolio. I could add another position but that would be adding to the overall positions which is already above 21....so I prefer not to do that. The other option is to invest in the existing positions. These positions are well balanced, aka no rebalancing required, other than a 20 decline in EIF-T. With your cash position being double mine, what are you expecting to do after July 12th? Or should I just "keep the powder dry" at this time in a savings account?......What I am really wondering is - What approach should be taken?.....Thanks....Tom
